After Bai Yuxian let go of Ye Fuxun, Ye Fuxun lay back on the bed, feeling the warm temperature, she squinted her eyes.
Ye Fuxun glanced at Bai Yuxian, looking at him inexplicably.
Then Ye Fuxun lifted the quilt and was about to stand up, but was instantly stopped by Bai Yuxian.
"What are you doing? Aren't you tired?"
Ye Fuxun glanced at him angrily: "Drink water."
The next second, Bai Yuxian brought a cup of hot tea to Ye Fuxun's lips.
"It's not like I can't walk..."
Even though he said this, Ye Fuxun still felt extremely sweet in his heart, after all, he could make his sweetheart care so much.
She took the cup and poured it into her stomach. She was so thirsty that her voice was a little hoarse.
"Hungry."
Ye Fuxun blinked and handed the cup back to Bai Yuxian.
Bai Yuxian's eyes darkened, he picked up the cup and stood up and walked outside: "I'm going to pass on the meal."
Xiaoyu had already prepared the food, but she was not sure when Ye Fuxun would use it. She kept warming it in the kitchen, and when she heard Bai Yuxian pass on the meal, she quickly brought it to the table.
Naturally, she was unable to enter the dormitory. She was stopped at the door by Bai Yuxian, who carried her in.
Well, looking at the affectionate look on the part of the emperor and the empress, it's probably because there's nothing wrong with her.
So Xiaoyu simply went to the side hall to sleep.
"That girl of yours is so loyal that she stayed outside the door all night."
Bai Yuxian looked at Ye Fuxun enjoying his meal and couldn't help but eat it with a few chopsticks. It tasted really good.
"That's natural. Xiaoyu and I are like sisters."
Halfway through, Ye Fuxun seemed to suddenly wake up and his face turned red.
"Then last night...didn't she hear everything? Didn't she tell her to go and rest first?"
Bai Yuxian's eyes narrowed slightly, and the subtle arc made it clear that he was in a good mood.
"They are far away."
Hearing this, Ye Fuxun breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the scene last night, her face turned red.
"Then...that child?"
The image of Ning Ruo kneeling on the ground, hugging the child and begging her, lingered in his mind. Such a proud person became so humble. Although Ye Fuxun did not pity her, he still couldn't bear to see the child.
Bai Yuxian sighed and stroked the top of Ye Fuxun's hair: "Why don't you bring Ning Ruo and the child into the palace in the name of serving the concubine? If Ning Ruo is at peace, she won't be tolerated.
It’s impossible for me not to be wary of that child, after all, he was left behind by the emperor’s younger brother. If he knows his life experience in the future, he will inevitably not have thoughts of revenge.”
Ye Fuxun's heart sank. Everything Bai Yuxian said made sense. Bai Yitong was a brother and an enemy. They didn't care about the identity of the enemy's son, but there was no guarantee that this child wouldn't care. With so many mouths open in the palace, it was inevitable that he would
A few gossips will always know.
"But - if he keeps it under his nose, that's fine. He won't be turned upside down."
Bai Yuxian chuckled lightly, with confidence in his words.
He has defeated so many people, and a mere child is not enough to make him feel like he is facing a powerful enemy.
"emperor……"
Ye Fuxun suddenly heard him relent, and his first reaction was gratitude. Then he felt that Bai Yuxian had endured too much, and for a while, thousands of words were blocked in his heart and he could not speak out.
"It doesn't matter, I will just do it for you and your future children."
On the second day after Ye Fuxun met Ning Ruo, Ye Fuxun woke up from the bed and heard a chaos outside, and Bai Yuxian was no longer in the room.
Ye Fuxun felt something was not right in his heart and quickly got up. Xiaoyu heard the noise outside and opened the door and came in to help Ye Fuxun wash up.
"Why do you get up so early? It's still cold outside in winter, so why don't you get some more sleep?"
Ye Fuxun was waiting for Xiao Yu to help him get dressed. He felt like his whole body was falling apart. He had no strength and was lazy at heart.
"What's going on outside? Where is the Emperor?"
Xiao Yu hesitated and said: "I heard that the Seventh Prince's Mansion was flooded, a large area was burned, and many people died... The emperor went to deal with it."
Xiaoyu didn't have a good impression of the people in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, so he was quite gloating at this moment.
Ye Fuxun was stunned, Seventh Prince's Mansion! Ning Ruo and the child were still in the Seventh Prince's Mansion!
After that, she didn't bother to dress up. She just tidied up briefly, put on her cloak, and then had someone prepare a sedan and drive her to the scene.
At this time, the street of the Seventh Prince's Mansion had been blocked by officers and soldiers. Many officials were sweating profusely and walking around anxiously. From among them, Bai Yuxian with a cold face could be seen talking to Shuntian Fuyi on the side.
What.
The alley that used to be full of pavilions and mansions was now a wreckage, with thick black smoke floating out of it, which was very choking. Officers and soldiers came in and out, rescuing some people who were still alive.
When Bai Yuxian saw Ye Fuxun from a distance, he left Shuntian Fuyi and walked over.
"Why are you here? Why don't you take a rest?"
Ye Fuxun shook his head. How could he rest now? Such a big thing happened.
There are also the Seventh Princess and the Emperor’s grandson in the Seventh Prince’s Mansion!
The fire was inexplicable, and when it was discovered, it was too late to save it. It didn't matter that the seventh princess was dead. After all, the seventh princess was already criticized. The former princess of Nanning, although she sounded good, actually lost the support of Nanning, which was even worse than the original one.
Nome is worse than that.
But the infant emperor and grandson inside are of serious royal blood, and a hundred of their heads are not enough to lose.
Although the emperor's grandson's father is no longer here, he is still the nephew of the current emperor, so it doesn't matter if he is burned to death in front of so many people.
Even in order to protect the royal family, the officers and soldiers rushed forward as if they were dying to put out the fire, but...
In the place where the fire was the most serious, only two shabby-burned skeletons, one large and one small, were rescued, which seemed to belong to the seventh princess and the emperor's grandson.
Although Bai Yuxian issued an order to conduct a thorough investigation, everyone present knew very well that whether it was something the Seventh Princess couldn't think of or someone conspired, the Seventh Princess and the grandson of the Emperor had already been burned, and someone had to take the blame.
, the officials in charge of city defense were sighing secretly, admitting that they were unlucky.
Those officials were also smart and took the lead to put out the fire. They rushed into the Seventh Prince's Mansion covered in ashes. Their faces were so charred that they couldn't identify themselves. They showed that they had tried their best to save the people and followed the others in tears.
Bai Yuxian reported the results, using words as cautious and tactful as possible.
However, Bai Yuxian did not accept his trick at all, and only said coldly: "You said that the seventh princess and the emperor's grandson were all burned to death?"
Cold sweat broke out on the official's forehead. He hurriedly wiped his forehead with his sleeve, but the sleeve was also covered with dust, and his face was extremely dirty after wiping it.
He glanced at Ye Fuxun who was nestling next to Bai Yuxian. His heart was pounding, but he still said bravely: "Last night...someone said that the Queen visited the Seventh Prince's Mansion last night. I wonder if this happened?"
